    Sweet! Now you need to build a garage with a gl*** floor and a lower level observation room. :)

    My god that 40 is just stunning!!!
    I too am wondering how they got it that low with a solid axle, and if the front tires are rubbing on turns.
    I absolutely love everything about this car, especially the ride height. and I would love to get my 39 this low.
